When I was younger I was very pro-free-speech, then around age 20 or so I became woke. Then I got cancelled and it snapped me out of it. It turned my whole world upside down.

There’s no guarantee of free-speech in the US except from our government. (even that has restrictions) You aren’t guaranteed free speech on internet platforms, nor are you shielded from the effects of what you have said. Was there a certain statement that got you cancelled or was it a number of things?

@nothingplanet Basically I agree with the radical feminist viewpoint that women face unique challenges on the basis of their sex, not gender identity.

@realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet Being a guy in a dress has basically negligible consequences. Women face issues because they're physically weaker than us and because they have wombs (the ability to make babies, which is something we consider a commodity).

Women spend hours putting on makeup and wearing sexualized clothing like high heels because they are positioned as lowly people in society. Makeup is oppressive. Imagine if men wore makeup. Imagine that everyone around you does it, and if you don't you're a freak. You have to literally paint your face, and it takes up to 2 hours every morning. It's no wonder women get paid less, they have to do a great job on top of a rigorous morning routine to make sure they look beautiful.

Would you like to wear makeup every day? I'm guessing not. So why would a man choose to wear makeup every day? This is really just an example, but there are 100 different ways people identify as trans, I don't even know where to begin deconstructing them all.

@alex Most men would be fine if women stopped wearing makeup, women compete among themselves. The beauty magazines are not selling to men, women like to feel pretty and making themselves up is a way to do that. If they don't want to, they can literally just not, no one will talk badly of them except other women because they're all catty bitches, and absolute worst case scenario they don't get complimented as often. But dear fucking God how dare we put any responsibility for the gross beauty industry on literally the only demographic that cares about the beauty industry. @realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet

@NAZl @alex @nothingplanet Women probably don't know that tho; messaging tells them they * must * cake themselves up and look perfect

@realcaseyrollins Have you never had to tell a woman to hurry tf up because no one cares about her goofy clown eyeliner before? Come on, they know, and they slow down every time you ask on purpose. It's a game they play to fuck with our heads to the point of cliche @alex @nothingplanet
